Your biggest challenges with hiring
an agency or a freelancer
Communication challenges
Communication complexity increases exponentially with the number of team members you add to the project. It gets to an extent where you just can’t manage anything anymore!
No guarantee of delivery
Freelance market places would refund you and ask you to look for someone else. That brings significant lead time to your development. Agencies on the other hand won’t take any responsibility!
This is where we are different
We guarantee delivery
The foundation of our guarantee is deep understanding of app development ecosystems. We have tested these ecosystems to extreme limits, leaving no stone unturned.
How we approach guaranteed delivery?
Fix any bugs induced for free
Replace dev that don’t fit your needs, instantly!
Responsibility of delivery is shared equally between stakeholders and dev team
Cost of training on new tech would be on us, you incur zero risks
We communicate effectively
Our painless communication starts with Team leaders and project reporting is placed at the core of your project
Our developers are best trained to communicate like you have never experienced before. You can painlessly participate in scrum meetings to daily interact with your teammates on critical and immediate issues.
A good communication pattern keeps your developer focused as well
Development leaders who have worked with software teams understand this, and so do we! The communication on our part with you is
Easy
Easily identifiable and understandable, no matter the complexity of the project
Respectful
Respect yours and your developers time to boost productivity of all teams involved
Meaningful
Makes sure that people with different responsibilities and levels of involvement are better engaged in a project
Email is an important tool, but it isn't the only tool we use to communicate
Simplicity that fuels innovation
We have perfected the art to drive innovation with simplistic, transparent communication standards
Clearly Defined
Standardized documentation for all parts of the project that are clearly defined as per the sprint divisions
Well Documented
Everything is documented, nothing is verbal to ensure that everyone is on the same page
Easily Understandable
A common language for communication that ensure that handovers of the project from one team to another (dev to QA) is smooth and clearly understandable.
Here’s the thing about software development
You can’t really build innovation without innovating the way you are building them
What separates us from freelancers?
Distributed teams and the culture
Well, let’s start with the culture. Building a highly focused teams requires orientation of software developers, this is a real difficult task. If you don’t have the right culture within this team, you are going to build more silos, Martin Fowler takes the definition and describes this challenge very well.
He wasn’t talking about freelancers but your own hired teams. Imagine how difficult it becomes to work with a distributed team in the same case.

It takes 3-4 months to hire a really good team, with us all it takes is just 1 week
Talent is difficult to find
Talent is difficult to find, and it takes more than a quarter to find and kick-off the project even with mild complexities. We on the other hand have nurtured and assembled a team for this exact purpose. You can assemble a team with us in less than a week, and kick-off as fast as you want.
1 week is all it takes to kick off with us!
Once you hire a team of freelancers, you still have to be the sole manager of your team, wearing multiple hats and overlooking each and every effort including extremely non-trivial stuff. You have to do this while doing the most important thing - building your business on a scale. This puts you at risk, especially if anyone underperforms or a freelancer leaves.
With us, you get a time tested, a process driven team built just for faster delivery and eliminating risks.
A typical team structure for mobile app development at AppVeloctiy has
UX Designers
Subject Matter Experts
Mobile App Developers
Project Managers
Software Architects
Application Testers
Mobile app projects are usually driven by Architects and a Project manager, ensuring that the risks, architecture and timely delivery has been ensured.
At AppVelocity, we will deliver your app within 3-4 months - that’s just the time it will take you to hire an average team of freelancers.
How are we different from other agencies?
Agencies are a step up from freelancing teams, but a really good agency is always different - that’s what we are!
Agencies bring reliability and good practices to the table. But what many lack is the approach towards software development and a technology leadership.
Each project at AppVelocity kicks off with a solid foundation of system design and architecture patterns ensuring quality remains high right from the start, reducing points of failures and improving your agility with software development in general.
Our developers are dedicated to a single project at a time
Most agency developers are
Working on multiple projects at the same time: Good for agency bad for you
Overworked! Working on multiple projects developers won’t be paying attention to the project you deserve
Our developers on the other hand
Work dedicatedly on a single project
They are relaxed, not stressed and focus on learning more
Their project management and communication tools are free just for your project. There won’t be any other thread that would disturb them
In-house vs our developers
With us you just don’t get a development team, you get the following trained and tested just to facilitate app development at scale and with faster go-to-market:
Solution Architect
UI/UX Designer
Project Manager
Mobile Developer
QA Engineers
Backend Developers
What if a developer that you hired after months of search and expenses leaves? That puts your entire project to halt!
Talent loss if your in-house developer leaves
We have achieved 99% retention over a decade, and we are incredibly proud of it. Still, if a developer leaves mid project, we have an entire talent pool with us to tackle such situations
We have security standards and practices to ensure that your app will be developed securely in an enterprise grade, secured infrastructure
IP Protection
For client IP protection we have enterprise wide firewalls that builds a secure development, testing and deployment environments.
Dev Environment
Development environments are further locked and secured, any access to APIs, URIs, etc would have to be validated by the project leader.
From idea to app store, our process
Your UX journey with us
1
Week
I want to design an app for my user. We don't know how our target audience would respond to this.
You talk to us, we create a user persona for you that lists the pain, frustrations and what motivates your users.
2
Week
You talk to us. We create a user persona for you that lists pain, frustrations and what motivates your users
We create storyboards, user stories, affinity mapping and guerilla testing to help you move from persona to a problem
3
Week
These are some of our initial results, let’s define the real problem that we are going to
solve now
We will help you establish real pain points, map them with a UX solution. We will test this solution against user flows to see if it really solves the challenge
4
Week
Great! I am 100% confident with the design research you've put in place. Let's prototype
We will now prototype the actual interface design. For a complex UI, our dev teams would already be in loop to make sure we actually deliver and optimise the performance of this UI.
Using CI/CD tools such as TeamCity, Jenkins, and Bamboo, we practice zero-touch deployment of new code to production immediately after it has cleared the development and testing phases.
Automated deployment models ensure that business and technology rules are setup to actually prevent poor quality code from getting into live production environments.
Our process for fruitful engagement?
Once you start a project with us, we first start with a know-your-team meeting where you meet everyone who is going to be a part of your app development. You get to learn more about their skills and we get a chance to understand your project.
You will then undergo through a series of such discussions that shapes your documentation and requirement of your project. Upon reaching a mutual agreement in terms of what needs to be done. The project development in most cases follow a SCRUM model which has project milestones divided into sprints. First kick-off being the sprint 0, and the development and design starts from sprint 1 and sprint 2.
The entire process brings predictable-precision delivery and interactivity to the project under process. It also makes sure the communication of critical issues doesn’t take a back stage.
